TETRANDRIA  MONOGYNIA. 
This fine plant is a native of New South 
Wales. It was known to botanists soon 
after the settlement of the colony, but has 
only of late been brought into cultivation. 
We raised it from seeds in 1824, and it 
flowered in May last. It requires an airy 
greenhouse, and will increase by cuttings ; 
the soil should be sandy peat. 
The colour of the flowers is extremely 
rich, and the whole plant very elegant. 
Such objects should lead our hearts to more 
grateful feelings of admiration. ** How 
delightful the contemplation of the attri- 
butes and infinite perfections of God! to 
behold Him in the frame of the creation, 
and to read His Name in the book of His 
works, that the soul may by such steps be 
raised in love and admiration of her 
Maker.’
